    War Porter!!!

    And he has a fighting chance. Yeah he looked terrible against Ugas, but Ugas is an awkward pain in the ass. Nothing awkward about Spence in the least. So at the very least it'll be a decent test for Spence, I doubt he'll get the stoppage. Porter is squirrely enough, and fast enough to not get cornered on the ropes like Lamont, and on the inside he's a flailing nightmare that Spence will want to avoid, even if he can win an inside fight, its just not worth it. So he'll do the same thing he did against Garcia. Although a stoppage can't be ruled out entirely, the only reason he stopped Brook was due to an injury, thankfully for Spence, Porter will probably be the cause of a headbutt and the ensuing cut, that the ref will call a punch from Spence if the fight starts going south for him, and pull Porter out of the fight. Regardless, who are we kidding, even if Porter shuts Spence out, he won't get the nod here, the deck is stacked against him from the word go.

    So, either earned or gifted, Spence wins by UD.

    Porter is no longer the pressure fighter he once was. He is still aggressive but nothing like he was before the Granados fight.

    Spence dominates Porter. He will keep Porter at bay by touching his gloves with his jab, just like he did with Peterson and Garcia.
    Eventually Porter will try and get on the inside and he will get cracked. And on the inside, Spence knows how to set off his own offense.
    Spence's game has evolved since the Brook fight. He is a lot better now.
    And Porter is no longer the pressure fighter he used to be. He is now more of a boxer. This is why Garcia had a hard time with him and why Ugas made him look so bad(Porter fought Ugas' fight).

    Spence 12-0.

    How do we know he's improved? He's yet to face someone his own size? Would Lomachenko be able to do to Mikey what he did to Rigo?

    :deal: Yes and yes.
    Loma would fight Mikey the same way as Spence did. Keep touching that high guard, keep Mikeys hands at bay.

    Wanna bet? I say Spence absolutely dominates Porter by using the jab to befuddle the **** out of him.

    Spence by ko vs porter
    Pac wide ud vs Thurman
    But
    If Thurman was to run and hold his way to victory he might turn up injured another two years.

    dude, i was about to post almost the exact same. every time porter darts in, he will be met with a step back counter. in between darts, he will be getting peppered from the outside with jabs and straight lefts. when he does resort to mauling, because hes getting boxed silly, hes getting his ribs cracked.
    i think it goes 12. how exciting it is depends on how quickly porter sees hes out of his depth.
